Girl Talk, Carey Delauder Bledsoe
Girl Talk, Carey Delauder Bledsoe
Master's Theses, Dissertations, Graduate Research and Major Papers Overview
This dissertation is a qualitative study of an all-girls’ advisory in a coeducational,
urban middle school located in a mid-sized city in the northeast.
The advisory group met daily over the course of the 2010-2011 academic year.
Drawing from data collected over one year of fieldwork--including participant
observation, analysis of discourse, dynamic interviews, and the analysis of
social constructs --this study explores how a group of mostly African
American and Latina students created a caring community in order to increase
their academic and social success.
Gendered Hate Speech And Political Discourse In Recent U.S. Elections And In Postsocialist Hungary, Louise O. Vasvári
Gendered Hate Speech And Political Discourse In Recent U.S. Elections And In Postsocialist Hungary, Louise O. Vasvári
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Gendered Hate Speech and Political Discourse in Recent U.S. Elections and in Postsocialist Hungary" Louise O. Vasvári illustrates gendered political discourse in the U.S. through a case study of the 2008 presidential campaign. While the campaign turned into a plebiscite on gender and sexual politics with Hillary Clinton and other female political figures depicted in the most traditionally misogynist terms, Barack Obama has in some leftist circles been seen as an empathetic figure who transcends both race and gender, although from the political right he has been attacked with racist and feminizing stereotyped invectives. In turn, in …

Male Same-Sex Desire In The Romances Of De Troyes, Basil A. Clark
Male Same-Sex Desire In The Romances Of De Troyes, Basil A. Clark
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Male Same-Sex Desire in the Romances of de Troyes" Basil A. Clark extends René Girard's theory of mimetic desire to explore a homocentric subtext in Chrétien de Troyes's Erec and Enide, Lancelot or The Knight of the Cart, The Knight with the Lion or Yvain, and The Story of the Grail or Perceval. While male same-sex desire in these narratives is consistently latent, an argument for its presence is made through Girard's hermeneutic, which postulates that someone (the subject) desires someone or something (the object) not only for its own sake but because …
Wilde And The Model Of Homosexuality In Mann's Tod In Venedig, James P. Wilper
Wilde And The Model Of Homosexuality In Mann's Tod In Venedig, James P. Wilper
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Wilde and the Model of Homosexuality in Mann's Der Tod in Venedig" James P. Wilper examines the influence of Oscar Wilde and the effeminate homosexual identity which cohered as a result of Wilde's trials for act of "gross indecency" in 1895, in Mann's classic homoerotic short novel. Drawing on Alan Sinfield's The Wilde Century (1994) and recent scholarship into the impact of Wilde on German-language writers, as well as German homosexual communities of the early twentieth century, Wilper explores Mann's ambivalent response to Wilde's homosexual legacy. Later in his career, Mann writes of Wilde with Nietzsche …
Gender-Twisting And Bros Talking, Odile Mattiauda
Gender-Twisting And Bros Talking, Odile Mattiauda
Master's Theses, Dissertations, Graduate Research and Major Papers Overview
In American Schools, students are rarely offered educational experiences about gender and sexuality. Programs that do address sexuality are rarely based on moral beliefs and democratic values of tolerance and inclusivity. Sexuality education is predominantly taught by health teachers, rather than human sexuality educators, and their focus is on facts, statistics, and controversial issues such as the prevention of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. This limited perspective on sexuality neglects the important role of gender identity and sexual orientation (Donovan, 1989; Haffner & De Mauro, 1991; Nelson Trudell, 1993)
Using teacher-researcher-participant-observer qualitative methodology, I examined the discourse …
